Jack and Ozzy on Conan

Jack Osbourne has revealed how his dad Ozzy once accidentally sent Robert Plant a text about a missing cat.

Discussing the Black Sabbath frontman’s lack of technical know-how when it comes to mobile phones, Jack tells the Conan show that Ozzy panicked when he couldn’t find his pet cat and ended up texting the Led Zeppelin hero by mistake.

Ozzy says: “I try, but I end up sending the wrong message to the wrong person. I can’t work a bloody digital watch, never mind a phone.”

Jack explains: “He once sent Robert Plant a text message like, ‘I can’t find the cat.’” Ozzy says Plant replied with an obviously confused message of his own.

“He sent one back going,’ You can’t find the cat…?‘”

Jack also jokes that his notoriously eccentric parents Ozzy and Sharon have made his life more interesting than most.

Whether it’s his mother baring her breasts on TV or his dad making him watch graphic war documentaries as a child, things are rarely dull.
